Healthcare Provider Directory Moves to the Australian Digital Health Agency
Published
On 4 November 2026, an important change took place in Australia's healthcare system. The Healthcare Provider Directory, which was previously run by Services Australia, became part of the Health Connect Australia Provider Directory. This directory is now managed by the Australian Digital Health Agency.
The Healthcare Provider Directory is a list of healthcare providers. It is used to help people and organisations find and connect with health services across the country. By moving the directory to the Australian Digital Health Agency, the government has placed it under the control of the agency that focuses on digital health in Australia.
The move brings the directory into a single system called Health Connect Australia. This system is designed to make health information easier to share and use. Health professionals, service providers and patients may find it simpler to access accurate information about healthcare providers in one place.
The information provided so far does not describe any changes to how the directory works for users. Anyone who needs to use the directory should check the Australian Digital Health Agency's website for the latest guidance and details.
